i want to make single msi-file both to install or upgrade my application. i'm using different product codes and single update code for all versions and i store installation path in the registry.
running the installation i want to check the registry for my records presence and if i find istallation path then i want to reinstall new version to the same path. i've tried a lot and i managed to set default installation path by searching from the registry to property INSTALLPATH: <Property Id="INSTALLDIR" Value="C:\MyDefaultDir\"> <RegistrySearch Id="RegSearch_0001" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\some\path" Name="InstallDir" Type="raw"/> </Property> That worked pretty fine and the default installation path was set to the path found in registry. But i'm getting compilator warnings for that. I tried to search from registry to another property and then set INSTALLDIR to my value via Set Folder and Set Property custom actions but that didn't work. Is there any way to set the INSTALLDIR before the Select Directory dialog without warnings? Also i wonder if i can omit the Select Directory dialog if i have successfully found my installation path in registry. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/setting-default-INSTALLDIR-tp4100396p4100396.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
